Depends entirely on grades. Obviously, W&C requires LR plus top 10%. They traditionally hire one Chicago kid every year. The 2010 3L they hired had huge pedophile sideburns and played the trumpet, so I don't know how selective they are in terms of personality once they get past grades.

Covington may be the most selective firm in the country this year -- super safe, super prestigious. A DC ordinance requires residents to remove their hat and curtsy when in the presence of a Covington associate.

Cadwalader bet the bank on securitization work, a move roughly tantamount to putting all of your savings in Confederate bonds circa 1864. Unless the South (and mortgage-backed securities) rise again, this is one firm that everyone should avoid.

Mayer Brown features a great appellate practice, with the talent of Stephen Sachs, a young YLS associate who looks like Strahilevitz.

Gibson Dunn seems to hire above median, but not super-star, students. I vaguely know someone there from my time with the Pit Band. I think most 178+ students have a good shot, as long as they're sufficiently conservative. I think ditto for Sidley, but don't quote me on that.

The real question is: Do you really want to work in a city that has 89.1 lawyers per 1,000 people?

Yeah, so I disagree with a few things there (a couple are also clearly wrong).

If anyone is interested in DC, send me an email (I'd prefer not to discuss firms on this board).

I really just want to patronizingly pinch ,.,.,.;.,.,. on the cheek...

Admit it, you read "pedophile sideburns" and did a begrudging, slow nod.
